Google Calendar links

Load the helper in your view initialization:

php

$this->addHelper('Calendar.GoogleCalendar');

Create a link in a template:

php

echo $this->GoogleCalendar->link('Team meeting', [
    'from' => $event->beginning,
    'to' => $event->end,
], [
    'details' => $event->description,
    'location' => $event->location,
]);

The from value is required. CakePHP datetime values are converted to UTC. Date-only values use Ymd; when from is a CakePHP Date and to is omitted, the helper supplies the next day for a one-day event. Supply an explicit end for timed events. Strings are passed through without date conversion, so format them as YYYYMMDD or YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ before calling the helper.

url() takes the same arguments and returns a URL instead of an HTML link. Optional details are details, location, and ctz (calendar timezone). The helper's url configuration defaults to https://calendar.google.com/calendar/render.

The link opens Google Calendar's event form. It does not save an event automatically, synchronize changes, or provide a subscription feed.
